Used Stumpjumper FSR Comp

Used Stumpjumper FSR Comp 120

This might be the full suspension bike that you really wanted ten years ago. It had Fox suspension, Shimano XTR parts, Avid hydraulic disc brakes, and it wasn’t too expensive, coming in around $2500.
Well, how about now? It’s used, but still in great shape. We’ve replaced the chain, cassette, and some of the more consumable bike parts. We’ve tuned this one up, and it’s ready to ride. This is a medium size, you get a full year warranty from us, and it’s all yours for about half the original price, only $1199.

The batteries are replaceable and the lights are water resistant. Only $7.

Used Linus Gaston 3

Used Linus Gaston 3 $469

Do you like the way that older steel bikes look? Do you want a vintage ride but you can’t tell the difference between “collectable” and merely “old”? Want a great bike to cruise around on?

Check out this Linus 3-speed.

It’s a 2017 model with only a handful of miles on it. It has all of the style that you’re searching for in an older bike with none of the quirky older parts. The shifter shifts. The brakes stop. The seat is comfortable, the tires are durable, the wheels are strong. There won’t be any strange French fittings to deal with when you need to replace parts (unlike that Peugeot 10 speed from 1974 that you were eyeing).

This is a large frame, and it will work the best for a rider between 5’9″ and 6′ tall. This is still a current model and they go for $669 brand new. Buy this one slightly used for only $469 (with a full year warranty) from us.

Used Felt Verzas (our rental bikes)

Felt Verza Cafe Deluxe

Need a good bike for riding to work or cruising around the neighborhood?

We have a few of our rental bikes for sale.

We try to keep our rental fleet looking shiny and new, so every so often we put a few of the old bikes up for sale. These bikes are in tip-top condition (they were brand new last October) with plenty of miles left in them. We check them over nearly every day during our rental season, and the tourists who ride them usually just pedal the few miles to Fort Ward and back.

These Verza Cafe models come with fenders, a cargo rack, seat bag, coffee cup holder, excellent maintenence records and pretty fresh components. All for only $450 to $550 depending on the bike’s condition and size (they’re $700 brand new). These bikes come with a full warranty.

We have two medium size bikes still available. Currently we have the traditional frame style (gunmetal grey color) that should fit a rider between 5’3″ and 5’8″ quite well.

Spezzotto Custom

Spezzotto custom

The name Spezzotto has been kicking around the Italian bike racing world for a long time.
There was a bike mechanic named Ricardo Spezzotto who worked in the Treviso area in the 1920′s. We think it was Ricardo’s son Antonio Spezzotto who opened a bike shop in Conegliano in the 1950′s. We know for sure that in the 1970′s a second-tier pro team G.S. Serrande raced around on Spezzotto bikes. It’s a fact that today you could walk into Cicli Spezzotto if you’re in the Treviso area and roll out with a new bike.

Chorus crankset

Columbus tubing

Campy Neutron wheels

Want a Spezzotto road bike but don’t want to walk all the way to Italy? You can walk into our shop and roll out with one now.

This frame was a trade-in. It was made in the early ’90′s of Columbus Aluthron aluminum tubing, and it will fit a rider in the 5’5″ to 5’7″ height range quite well.

Record carbon levers

Record carbon derailleur

We built the bike with a mix of Campagnolo Chorus and Record equipment, it has Campy Neutron model wheels and a Kestrel carbon fiber handlebar. While it looks like a bit of a vintage ride, the materials and design are quite modern. You get a compact crankset so the gearing is pretty easy on the hills, and with all of the carbon fiber bits and pieces the bike end up weighing only 18 pounds. Oh, and it will only set you back $1500.

56cm Mondonico Futura Leggero

56cm Mondonico

Ride with retro style!

We hate to use terms like “retro” with bikes that are only ten years old, but lugged steel tubing looks a bit different compared to today’s carbon fiber.

Well, it’s not totally retro. That’s a straight-blade Alpha Q carbon fork, and the frame is made from nivacrom steel (not heavier cromoly tubing)
To compliment the traditional look of this Columbus Nemo steel tubing frameset we have selected traditional-looking (but very high-tech Campagnolo Chorus components.

Mondonico Futura Leggero framesets typically sell for $2500 on their own. Campagnolo Chorus equipment and Chris King headsets aren’t cheap, either. So… How much? You can buy this red beauty today all built up as you see it for only $1499!

Scott E-Sub Evo Electric

Scott E-Sub Evo

Need a little help getting up the hills? Let’s get you a little mechanical assistance.

A Bosch electric motor should do the trick.

This is the Scott E-Sub Evo, the best electric bike design that we have ever seen.
Based upon Scott’s excellent Metrix hybrid models and outfitted with a powerful and reliable Bosch Performance motor system, this bike is an example of design perfection. It rides great and exhibits none of the “quirks” normally associated with E-bikes.

Quirks? It’s probably not polite to highlight the faults of others, but here are some of the things that have always bugged us about electric bikes: Under-powered brakes, low-end external derailleur systems on really expensive bikes, poor weight distribution that makes a bike feel tippy, “suspension” forks that don’t do much except increase the overall heft, clunky add-on systems that look duct-taped onto a standard bike, chargers and batteries that try to set your garage on fire.

We don’t like dealing with stuff that a bike company should address before the bike even goes on the road, so a bike that we can describe as “perfectly designed” is pretty appealing.

Bosch Performance motor

Easy to read console

For those of you who have been spending a lot of time looking for an electric bike, here are the vital statistics: An aluminum hybrid frame designed with a motor in mind (integrated into the frame, not tacked on). Internal wiring for the motor, the lights, the brakes and the shifting. A Bosch Performance motor with a 400 watt/hour battery. Integrated Busch & Muller lights (that are in turn connected to the integrated fenders and rear rack). Shifting courtesy of a reliable (and weather-proof) Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub system. The bike stops safely and reliably by way of Shimano Alfine hydraulic disc brakes with Ice-tech rotors (an important element for a bike that weighs 15 pounds more and can be ridden 15 mph faster than normal).

Busch & Muller 500 lumen front light

Intergrated rear light

Electric bike charge range varies with the weight of the rider and the local topography, but you can expect 75 to 100 miles on the “Eco” assist level and around 25 miles with the motor going full blast in “Turbo” mode on this Scott. The bike can sense the amount of torque that you’re putting on the pedals and it will assist you according to your need (and you can set it to one of four assist levels). The motor will stop helping you when you hit 20 miles per hour, but there’s no rule that says you have to slow down at that point.

Once the battery has been depleted, the charger will fill the lithium Ion battery pack from totally drained back up to full power in about two hours.

2002 Moots YBB Mountain Bike

2002 Moots YBB Air

While not the very first mountain bike brand out there, Moots certainly can be called one of the “originals”.
Founded in 1981 by Kent Eriksen, the little Steamboat Springs bike company (that was named after Kent’s alligator-shaped pencil-top eraser Mr. Moots) has always led with great ideas and solid craftsmanship.
Back in the ’80′s, Moots was known as a fun custom shop that specialized in off-road frames, handlebars and stems. In 1983 Steve Tilford raced a Moots mountain bike to victory at the very first NORBA national championship and gave the creative brand instant racing credibility. In 1985 Moots came up with the first set of bar-ends for flat mountain bike handlebars. 1n 1987 Moots unveiled the YBB suspension seen here, and in 1991 they introduced their first titanium bike.

Mr. Moots Alligator head tube badge

The YBB Air soft-tail

This is a Moots YBB mountain bike from 2002.
The YBB (Why Be Beat) design is a signature style for Moots. In the 25 years or so that the YBB has been around the pivotless soft-tail has become one of the most copied suspension designs in the bike world. This variation, the YBB Air, utilizes a Rock Shox air canister to give the rider control over the spring rate and rebound characteristics of the rear end, managing the admittedly subtle single inch of rear travel.

Custom Sid fork

XTR all around

Joe Breeze designed dropouts

The front end of this bike features a custom Rock Shox Sid World Cup suspension fork. Hercules Castro, a friend of ours at Rockshox, built this fork out of the random ingredients lying around the office (in one of the Rockshox desx?). It has a carbon fiber crown and steerer, super light 28mm sliders with an experimental coating, white magnesium lowers and a prototype remote switch.

Shimano would be proud of the components bolted to this Moots. There are four generations of XTR parts working together. There ‘s the early generation XTR 950 hubs, the 960 brake levers, the 980 generation drivetrain and the 970 V-brakes that bring everything to a stop.

Like this bike? Gavin is selling it… $4K will make it yours.

Surly Cross Check (and Cross-Check Disc)

Surly Cross-Check

Not going to step lightly around the subject. We have other bikes for sale that you might like better than the Cross Check.

Felt has some bikes save a lot of weight with their aluminum frames, and have better components at similar prices to the Surly.

The steel Breezer Radar has probably the best ride quality of any touring or cross bike ever built. The Marin Gestalt and Nicassio models can be pounds lighter than a Cross Check.

You might want to get a Surly anyway.

A Cross-Check city bike

The Cross Check from Surly is the bike to pick when you want options. Really tall or really small? Surly has a frame size that will fit. Want to customize your bike? Surlys are available as bare frames. Want tough steel tubing and thick paint that will handle years of abuse and neglect? Surly is your brand. Want something a little different, or a little less “corporate”, pick Surly.

Since the Cross Check is available as a bare frameset, you can have us build you a Cross Check in any configuraton that you can imagine. Upright handlebars, drop bars, skinny road tires or big fat knobbies, anything. Available with rim brakes or discs.

Surly even makes a version with couplers in the middle of the frame so you can take it apart and stuff it in a suitcase when you travel.

If you’re between 5’2″ and 5’6″ tall we have a good deal available. Our floor model Cross Check is now $400 less than msrp. All yours for around $1200.

1992 Trek 9500 Suspension Mountain Bike

Trek's first attempt at full suspension...

As of today, mountain bikes have been around for only about thirty years. There has been quite a bit of progress in a short amount of time.

This Trek 9500 from 1992 shows us some great leaps forward as well as some serious stumbles in mountain bike evolution.

Highlights include Shimano’s first edition XTR mountain bike component group. The engineering was superb, the cold-forged components were built to last for decades, and this group included many fantastic features like rapid-fire trigger shifting that we still use today.

Some designs were ahead of the curve.

The polyurethane spring stack was not a good idea.

Shimano XTR managed 24 gears

Trek’s DDS3 suspension fork had some nice touches too. It used a schraeder valve to fill the air chambers unlike Rock Shox’s needle valve of the time, and the adjustable air-sprung fork was closer to what we use now than the brief bike industry-wide foray into elastomer bumper forks.

This bike stretched you out a long way...

The lowlight had to be the rear suspension design, which moved like an inch-worm, with little spring rebound control and no suspension isolation from pedaling forces.

This bike came from Reliable Cycle, our Classic Cycle satellite store in the Rolling Bay neighborhood on Bainbridge Island. This bike was part of the regular inventory, and it got folded into the museum collection when the store closed in 1998.

Want to own one of Trek’s more embarrassing designs (with Shimano’s most beautiful XTR component groups on it)? All yours for $1994

Used 2013 Specialized Roubaix Elite

Used 2013 Specialized Roubaix Elite $1799

This is actually a new bike.

A new 2013 Specialized Roubaix Elite in fact. It’s a large frame (56cm) and should fit someone between 5’9″ and 5’11″ quite well. The frame is all carbon fiber, the components are Shimano 105, and the wheels are from DT Swiss.

The best thing about this Specialized? You don’t have to walk into a Specialized dealer’s bike shop to get it. You can get it from us.

All yours for only $1799 (originally $2700).

Raleigh Revenio Carbon

Revenio carbon 3

Raleigh’s Revenio series ride beautifully.

The frame geometry is similar to our other “all day” carbon bikes (Fuji Gran Fondo, Scott Solace, Felt VR series), with a bit taller head tube than on Raleigh’s Militis race machines for better comfort. Smooth and solid wheels with Vittoria tires come stock (traditional spoke count for added durability), and added goodies like Prologo saddles, Momentum rims and even carbon stems finish up the bikes.

The Revenio 3 is the bike that we use for our road bike rentals. It rides well, it’s light and comes with new Shimano Ultegra 11 speed equipment for under $2500. It has a carbon crankset, a BB30 bottom bracket interface, internal routing for the cables (which can also be used to run electronic wires if you ever upgrade to Di2).

Our remaining Revenio Carbon 3.0s are now on sale only $1599!

1940′s Colson Flyer

1940′s Colson Flyer

The restoration project.

Everybody loves good before and after photos. A bicycle restoration project is great at showing the damage that the decades can do, and you get to watch as that damage is erased with fresh paint or new chrome.

A while back, this balloon-tire cruiser came to us as a rusty old relic. The years were not kind to the old Colson. While the rust was not deep, it was everywhere. The owner, a fellow named Gerald Taylor, had a history with the bike and wanted to return the Flyer to its former glory.

Colson Flyer “before”

Gerald’s father had purchased the bike upon returning to the Seattle area from the second World War. Affordable cars were hard to come by in the months following the end of the war, and Gerald’s father figured he could get around on these two wheels just as well as he could with four. The bike served as a trusty commuter for a number of years before transitioning to recreational use, and finally retiring to the back of the garage.

The crankset “after”

The crankset “before”

The wheels were beyond repair. By removing the head badge and the reflectors, we were able to find clean bits of original paint, so the new colors would match. Parts were stripped off of the frame, and the dents were rolled out of the fenders.

Off to the painter (CycleSmith) went the frame, fork, fenders, and chainguard.

Into the recycling went the chain, pedals, and wheels.

The fenders “after”

The fenders “before”

Rusty bits like the chainring, seatpost, fork struts, handlebars and stem made their way to the chrome shop (Art’s chroming in Bremerton).

Some of the parts that you find on old bikes are still made today. No problem getting a Wald kickstand, and the reproductions of the pedals and saddle are well worth the price. Appropriate fasteners are just a quick trip to the hardware store (no allen bolts or torx heads on sixty year old bikes, thank you).

The head tube “after”

The head tube “before”

Jeff, who started collecting balloon-tire bikes decades ago, dug up some great matching wheels and tires from a “donor” bike. Fresh grease for the hubs and some new spokes made them roll and look just right.

Now, I’d like to say this was a quick project. But it wasn’t.

Sometimes it takes a while to find the right parts. You have to get on a painter’s schedule (some have months-long backlogs), and it takes a while to get chrome done (Art’s is actually quite fast). You may have seen the car and motorcycle restoration shows on television where things move lightning fast. They use an editor.

The headlight “after”

The headlight “before”

I truly wish we were able to finish this bike sooner, as Gerald missed the opportunity to see his beautiful bike all spruced up. Gerald fell ill and passed away a few weeks before we were able to finish the project.

The “After” photo is the way this bike would have looked when Gerald’s dad first brought it home.

This bike is for sale from the museum collection. It can be yours, fully restored, for $2500.

2012 “Classic” Retrotec

“Classic” Bike, built by Curtis Inglis of Retrotec

This bike is not old…. It’s Classic.

Curtis Inglis builds wonderful steel bikes in his Napa, California workshop. If you want a hand-crafted bike with custom touches, an Inglis should be at the top of your list. For curvy-tubed bicycle goodness, Curtis and his Retrotec label should be your only consideration.

Retrotec was founded by Robert Seals, the godfather of the modern multi-function bike tool (he invented the Cool Tool, patented in 1990). For his Retrotecs, Bob resurected the old Schwinn cantilever frame style. Curtis, who worked for Bob back in the 1990s, took over the Retrotec name in 2001 and expanded the number of available styles, and they’re all cool.

Note the Ritchey "Classic" stem

When going custom, why not put your name on it?

Inglis' fillet brazed construction is perfection

Wanting a modern “Classic” that would be at home within our museum collection, we asked Curtis to show us his best work. Fine fillet brazed joints, expertly curved tubing, and sparkly green custom paint make this a bike as impressive as anything on our walls.

XTR brakes with cooling fins on the brake pads, Ti bolts

Retrotec Triple model

The XTR group is museum worthy itself.

The parts show off classic design cues and modern materials. Shimano’s XTR group is the best available today, and looks great with the gold chain and cables. A green Brooks saddle was a natural choice, as were the Portland-made Chris King headset and bottom bracket. We had to use the Ritchey “Classic” seatpost and stem, as they inspired us to build this bike in the first place.

Paul with Curtis Inglis and the bike

Inglis' shop, with bikes in various stages of production

Bikes look very different without all of the paint...

A trip down to California for a friend’s wedding coincidently put Jaime and Paul in Curtis’s workshop during construction of the Classic Bike.

This bike isn’t just for show. It’s for sale. Modern mountain bike performance and Classic style for $5499.
